First weekend trip on my new custom rohloff Ogre

Last week I picked up my new custom Surly Ogre with Rohloff hub.
Last weekend I made the first trip with it, three days across the Green Divide in the Netherlands. We stayed two nights in hotels near the route.

The bike is spectacular. The rohloff is top-notch, maintenance-free and shifts well. Comfort on the Ogre is also incredible due to the 29×2.6 Mezcals. And the Jones H-bar has a lot of different hand positions which is nice with longer days in the saddle.

The Green Divide is (one of) the longest unpaved nature routes in the Netherlands, and is incredibly beautiful and green in spring. Plenty of resupply options and about 50%-70% of unpaved riding per day.

I can't wait to ride my new bike more. In a fortnight, I'll be doing the ACT-2 route through the Netherlands and Belgium in one weekend!
